Lake Superior Provincial Park — Attraction in Unorganized North Algoma

I love this provincial park. There are many hikes with stunning lookouts. Also lots of sand beaches, rock formations, pictographs, amazing visitor centre in Agawa campground with a museum and lots of daily activities. We stayed at the Agawa campground in an RV. If you have a bigger RV, make sure to pick the filter on the reservation webpage for over 32 ft even if your rig isn’t that big cause some sites at Agawa are tight with lots of trees that can get in your way.

The beach had spectacular sunsets. And the beach was probably 4 km long. Lots of space and was never crowded. At the visitor centre in Agawa campground there is a path leading to a sitting area/lookout over the beach and the path and lookout are accessible. They also have a mobility chair with big tires in the visitor centre. They didn’t have a runner from the accessible lookout down to the water, which would have been nice if someone in a mobility device wanted to go right to the water. Maybe they do somewhere else in the park or maybe they offer other services if you ask, I don’t know.

The park is dog friendly. The northern end of the beach at Agawa campground allowed dogs off leash and we saw some happy pups playing in the water. They also have another big off leash beach more north in the park at Old Woman Bay. It is huge.

All the staff were friendly. The campgrounds have been generally quiet the two times I stayed. Was there both times in July and the campgrounds are full so it is nice that everyone was respectful.

Also, Lake Superior, itself, is beautiful and filled me with awe. It is...

Excellent park with a huge beach area. The water in Lake Superior is cold but refreshing. Good relief after a long day of hiking. We stayed in the third row of campsites in Agawa Bay South campgrounds. Site A220 was small and cozy but close to the highway. You can still get partial views of the beach area and lake from this site. Comfort stations and showers were clean. When hiking, I did the Sand river trail / Pinguisibi hike. Great hike with beautiful waterfalls. This hike is a dead end and there is a sign at the end which states "end of trail" from there you return along the same route. Highly recommend this hike. The next great hike is the Orphan Lake. Takes you to the top of the hill to at least three great lookout points and then the same trail by following the markers will bring you down the beach. Its a beautiful beach with great views. We ate our lunch here and also met a couple doing the coastal trail. You have to walk along the beach to connect back to the trail which brings you back to the starting point of the hike which is the parking lot. I found the Orphan lake trail a bit demanding especially when you are walking up from the beach so make sure to wear proper footwear. There are plenty of great hiking trails in which you can choose from but we did the above two and enjoyed it. Thank You to all staff of Lake Superior for...

There is something for everyone at this park - easy, moderate, difficult, and extremely difficult trails, camp grounds, back country camping, swimming, sandy beaches, and incredible views. Katherine Cove and Orphan lake are particularly beautiful day trip locations.

I did a 6 day back country hike with a large group (13 people) along the coastal trail with a slight detour along Orphan Lake, and it was an incredible experience. We started at Gargantua bay and exited at Katherine Cove, taking a rest day at Orphan Lake and averaging 500m per hour. I would not recommend dogs or small children to attempt anything more than day hikes, as the terrain is mostly extremely challenging rocky coast line ranging from walking along boulders and rocks to scaling rock faces with only very brief forest and sandy beach repreives. There are frequent steep drops that require jumping across gaps, intense ascents and descents with significant elevation gain (we did 1000m), and the trail is not frequently maintained, so it's key to have a map, navigator (e.g. compass, Garmin), and keep a sharp eye out for cairns and the Ontario Parks blue hiker trail marker. Do not attempt the coastal trail in the rain or wet weather, and be prepared for rolled ankles, scraped shins, and using your hands to grip...
